The Café de Rennes — Restaurant in Rennes

Beautiful Experience! I, a 25 years old male, who has been in France for over 5 years and currently residing at Brest, have been to many restaurants and bars over the years, and I must say, this bar has been one of the friendliest with me and my family.

Am visited by my mother and grandmother, whom I haven’t seen in 4 years, and I decided to show them the city and the surroundings. We happened to pass by this beautiful bar who at the moment had a lot of customers outside.

I thought maybe the fact that my grandmother only speaks Spanish would be a trouble, until our waiter Emanuel showed up with a big smile and patiently waited and explained everything to them. Each staff member was fully capable of understanding and taking time to help every customer. But I insist in thanking personally Emanuel for his best behavior and professionalism.

The food was on point, we ordered salmon salad and cœur de rumsteak. Ingredients were fresh, very tasty and carefully placed for a beautiful presentation. My family was speechless (mostly because they aren’t from around France).

The environment has an interesting mix between sports fanatic and a family friendly lifestyle.

And the service, although at first they didn’t have a table, was impeccable and very efficient.

You can’t leave Rennes before trying this place. The cafe de Rennes is one of the friendliest places I’ve been around in this 2024 and merits a decent recognition. We will come back and thanks to you, cherish a beautiful memory...

I'd show a photo of the food but after sitting for half an hour have nothing to show for it and couldn't even place an order for a drink. Server passed by us at least twenty times. You go inside to try an order, she insists on waiting at the table and to be right there... waited some more, no luck. go to the bar "fish n beer" just next door if you want to be able to have a coffee in less than 3 hours, and for them to actually say hello and acknowledge your existence

to the owners, maybe have more than one server working if you're gonna insist we can't just walk up and...

Between trains. A place to have a proper lunch if you have a train connection in Rennes. It's essentially a sport bar (with a variety of beers on tap), so most items on the menu are your classic pub grub - burgers, fish'n'chips and such. Service is relatively fast, which is important if you're on the tight schedule, but I'd recommend to have at least 45 minutes to not rush the things. I took entrecote - nothing to complain about, juicy and delicious. Although I find the practice to charge extra for a sauce a stingy trick. But... it happens...
